I have lived in Center Moriches most of my life and in my childhood home as well and I am 77 years of age. My Dad was a member when I was a little girl. I am so proud of the all the volunteers who put their lives on the line for our community. I still get excited when Santa Claus comes by my home on the Fire Truck. Doesn't matter how old we are the pride is always with us. We live in a wonderful community and we have such good people protecting us. Thank you all for your outstanding service!

I want to thank the man with the black audi for helping even when off duty!!!

Thank you so much for your service and all you do for our community!

Joined the department in 1968 after returning from Viet Nam. Served until injured in auto accident in August of 1969. Have lived in Colorado since 1984 but still think of the time in the department and the job you all keep doing year after year. Well done, proud to have been associated with you even for a short time.

Great website. Love the old pictures brings back so many memories. Going to the firehouse with Grandpa Holzman on Saturday nites to visit Howard Johnson in the radio room.

Congratulations on 125th I was there for the 75th 100th and hope to be there for 125th HOOP

Nice looking website. Lots of good info & pictures. Thank You for your service. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for allowing our twins, William & Nicholas to explore your fire house yesterday! They can't stop talking about it. Looking forward to visiting again. God bless you all for all you do!

East/Center Moriches was home for 20 years while growing up. Found this site while looking for info on SANDY and the damage to the island , via my sister Sharon. The Shoreliner resturant was in the family for several years, I remember the soft shell crab sandwiches in particular.

Wishing you all a happy and blessed holiday season! My late Father, James F. Abel, served with you until his death in 1988. God Bless you all and thank you for serving Center Moriches!

I just want to thank you for the pictures and info from Sandy.  As a former CM resident (and daughter of a former CMFD/Engine 2 member), I knew I could count on the CMFD for the latest on this disaster.
 
Please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.  May God keep you all safe.

I grew up in Center Moriches and graduated from CMHS many years ago. I lived on Railroad Ave and myself and many other kids would frequently respond to the fire house when the siren blew. I became acquainted with many fireman and became familiar with the appratus. I recall Engine's 3 and 1 both being Dodges. E-3 a 1936 and E-1 a 1939? they were referred to as the little Dodge and the big Dodge. Engine 2 was the newest a 1946 Ward LaFrance. All equipment was then housed in the old fire house closest to Clinton St. I also remember being allowed on occasion to watch one of the few TV'S in town, upstairs in the fire hall. It had a very small screen with a magnifing glass. Many good memories. Good site.

Site looks awesome, very nice design. Just dropping by to say Hi to everyone. Hope everyone is doing well now and have a great holiday this year. Li'l Steven says hi although hes not so little anymore lol

Not an easy effort, but appreciated more than you think.

Thanks again.
